Transmigrated & Triumphant: Defying Destiny's Chosen One-Chapter 605 - 82: The College Entrance Exam is Approaching

Chapter 605: Chapter 82: The College Entrance Exam is Approaching

The year is 1997.

Since the beginning of the year, Shi Suifeng’s mood has been growing increasingly anxious.

He still mainly stays at the camp these days, but he makes sure to come home every month.

Unlike previous years when he would just focus on seeing everyone happy, this year, as the cold departs and spring arrives, his anxiety has become visibly apparent.

Uncertain anxiety pervades his being, and his topics of conversation have shifted from daily calmness to urging study.

"Have you memorized the texts?"

"How about doing another set of test papers?"

"What was your score on the last exam?"

Especially whenever he comes back, his main target of focus—Chu River—would run away entirely.

She would rather wander around the supply and sales cooperative for a whole morning than listen to the repeated educational topics.

Shi Suifeng feels helpless.

He wants to keep Little He at home doing questions, but the problem is, while the other kids are obedient, she’s not! 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

He can’t bear to hit her, nor can he bear to scold her.

In the end, he has no choice but to let it go.

He even pulls out five yuan from his pocket: "It’s okay to have fun, but don’t go hungry, go to the state-run restaurant for a meal."

Turning around, Da Dan is watching from the side with a predatory gaze—

"Uncle, if you have a lot of spare cash, I can save it up for you. Don’t give it to her—Can a state-run restaurant be better than what I cook?"

His uncle... sigh!

A grown man, now in his thirties or forties, still a bachelor, not concerned about housing and old age, it’s really...

Da Dan is worried sick.

Just last month, he and the others pooled their money to buy another large courtyard in town, planning to transfer it back under his uncle’s name after all.

After all, they are all capable earners and know how to live their lives, only his uncle, who still doesn’t know the first thing about running a household!

This man really isn’t going to make it!

...

Shi Suifeng still doesn’t know about the intentions of the kids for him, at this moment he is just sighing—

This year he isn’t 100% sure about the resumption of the college entrance examination, after all, Wen Juan doesn’t seem very reliable.

Even so, no matter how assertive the other party is, he cannot casually give the kids hope.

Because of the ten-year cultural gap, if the news spreads, gives hope, and then shatters it, nobody could bear the outcome.

He couldn’t help but feel some regret.

Had he known, he should have gotten clearer information from Wen Juan’s mouth back then.

But in truth, time has passed, and the years have been long, Wen Juan’s image is almost blurred in his memory, and now there is very little space for her in his mind.

But Chu River is peacefully calm.

She has at least experienced a few modern times and had been a top student before, seeing Shi Suifeng again sitting in the hallway at night staring at the stars, she couldn’t sleep either.

At this moment she climbed up and patted his shoulder:

"Don’t worry, whatever is meant to come will eventually arrive."

Sigh, worrying for nothing, it’s not even Shi Suifeng taking the exam, yet he’s the one not able to sleep night after night.

It’s really the Emperor isn’t worried... cough.

Shi Suifeng doesn’t know Little He’s complaints at all.

Looking into her eyes, he almost uttered the news about the college exam but restrained it, only able to ask a vague question:

"Little He, if the college exam is resumed, what do you think should be done?"

"Hmm?"

Chu River nonchalantly: "What else? Just take the exam."

Back then, even universities were that fierce, and wasn’t she the top scorer?

In this era, if she can’t do well again, then she shouldn’t even think about Chang Geng, might as well just let herself burst.

Seeing Shi Suifeng’s state of an old father setting in, she felt both fresh and helpless.

"The kids in our family, not a single day have they relaxed over the years. Even if they resume the college exams, if they can’t pass it, who else do you expect the exam to select?"

Shi Suifeng became silent.

True!

Concern leads to chaos.

His kids’ studies are among the top, even Da Dan, who has the lowest scores among them, can still rank in the top 20 in the grade.

This is in Imperial City School, not in local Ning City!

If they can’t make it, then if the college exam news reaches others, just hastily reviewing, they won’t stand a chance.

He really is... worrying over nothing.

But, seeing Little He’s indifferent demeanor, Shi Suifeng’s eyebrows furrowed, and then he suppressed it, his whole demeanor becoming desolate, even his smile turned stiff—

"Maybe because of age, I always want to give them a better future now."

Chu River: ...

Sigh.

After all, they’ve been together for so many years, seeing him so worried, so lowly spirited, it’s hard to feel anything but pity.

So she quickly smiled and patted his shoulder:
